The most likely responsibilities are: cleaning, housekeeping, and taking inventory of supplies.
Why not the others:
- Scheduling doctors’ appointments is a clinical/administrative task (reception/scheduling staff).
- Resolving staff conflict is an HR/managerial responsibility.
- Maintaining the safety/servicing of medical devices is normally done by clinical/biomedical engineering or certified biomedical technicians, not general maintenance—though general maintenance may handle nonclinical equipment and facility systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical).
